El Chaltén, though touristy, was in a spectacular setting. It happens to be a climber´s mecca, but even the hikes offer tremendous views. Luckily, the Argentinians have not totally exploited the natural setting. The park entrance was free, and other … Continue reading
* Sentimos mucho el enorme retraso al escribir esta última parte de nuestro viaje. Desde que nos decidimos a cruzar los lagos para llegar a El Chaltén nos pareció que el viaje acabó muy rápido y desde nuestra vuelta hemos estado … Continue reading
El nuevo año nos recibió con un sol radiante con el que disfrutar nuestro camino junto al lago General Carrera, el más grande de Chile (llamado lago Buenos Aires en el lado argentino). Después de bordear sus aguas azul turquesa … Continue reading
We resumed our trip along the Carretera Austral in Coyhaique, having already done much of the top half of the road on our previous trip down from Puerto Montt. As some friends told us about a horrible 150km of road … Continue reading
The descent into the Chilean lakes region had us once again on a dirt road. This time, it was fairly rough and fairly steep and we were glad to be going down the road rather than up. We headed towards … Continue reading
The Road of the 7 Lakes from Villa la Angostura to San Martín de los Andes held much promise. 107 total Kms of a mix of paved and dirt roads and beatiful opportunities to camp. The road was undulating, although … Continue reading
Reluctantly, we left Futaleufu and headed down the mountain to Argentina and sunny weather. In retrospect, we should have stayed in Futaleufu a bit longer and taken more advantage of all it had to offer, because it really is a … Continue reading
Qué placer es reencontrarse con grandes amigos después de un largo tiempo separados! La llegada a Río Cuarto fue muy emotiva, viendo a Ana y el pequeño Oli en la estación. Pasamos unos días muy agradables en su casa, conociendo … Continue reading
We ended up taking the bus from San Pedro de Atacama to Salta, skipping out on the Paso Jama. Maybe that sounds wimpy, but another week of a few nearly 5000m passes and huge expanses of desert were less appealing … Continue reading
Después de unos días de descanso en Uyuni y de los comentarios de la gente que nos topamos sobre las lagunas al sur del país decidimos realizar la ruta aunque acortándola un poco: a pesar de ser muy bonita tiene … Continue reading

We are here in Arica, Chile, after picking up (finally!) our DHL package of Salsa Fargo derailleur hangers. The broken Salsa Fargo 3 derailleur hanger has been one saga after another. The hanger broke around August 24th or so in … Continue reading
La salida de Leh se alargó más de lo esperado… todo en este país lleva mucho tiempo. Nuestro plan consistía en levantarnos, ir a correos a dejar un paquete con algunas cosas que hemos decidido enviar a casa (demasiado pesadas/no … Continue reading
15/Agosto/2013. Después de disfrutar durante unos días de las comodidades urbanitas, estamos listos para seguir pedaleando. Leh es un pequeño oasis entre montañas peladas por la sequía y el frío y que se usa como punto de partida para excursiones … Continue reading

As we sit here in Leh, we have had a little time to start digesting the days since we last wrote something in Keylong. We´re sitting in a little restaurant called “Kitchen Restaurant” on Leh´s famous (or perhaps, infamous) Changspa … Continue reading
